What it does
A Photoshop plugin that talks to an Automatic1111 instance running on your own machine, so you can generate and then edit without switching applications. The catch is the prerequisite: this does nothing on its own, and getting Automatic1111 installed and running is the hard part. If you have never set up local image generation, start with a standalone app instead.
